After my migration from Sony SLT 77 MK2 on Sony SLT 99 my previous message from Sigma 70- 200 2.8 OS HSM, which I have also evaluated here as well was not enough for outdoor shots with 200 he focal length. So I researched the Sony user forum, the experiences of other users with this lens on the Alpha 99. Within a few hours I have these gesendet.Daraufhin their experiences and photos I have taken a very good used. It should be very good use as a travel Tele. It's quick when focusing and relatively fail. For this price it is a real alternative in this focal length range. Dimmed it delivers almost excellent results even at full frame at focal length 300th Especially since you have the possibility to increase the ISO speed to this fainter lens to compensate for VF. The slight downside is that it is relatively easy compared to the camera, but a trip Tele for quick snapshots that can be stored easily. My recommendation to buy !!!!!
